well, our trip to north carolina was tremendous fun. maya was an all-star on the plane, and so many people said how good she was. i was really glad that we flew while alex and daddy drove, i don't know how maya would've done in the car for that long!! daddy and alex drove and did great also, they got to stop at a cool hotel on the way down.
maya loved meeting her great-mama for the first time!
She got a lot of attention from a lot of people we met at carolina meadows... I think big brother was feeling a little left out!! But, we got to do so many fun things. we got to go back to the Marble's children's museum, which we also did last year. alex had a blast! alex loved playing vet. alex stayed in this section for a long time! he gave animals shots, and helped them, and even checked out some x-rays!
i think alex's favorite part was in the construction area. there were REAL tools there, even a real saw. daddy and alex worked really hard. alex said he wanted to make a house... and they really did make a house!!
We loved having dinner with great-mama and great-daddy in the dining room every night.
We also found a really fun beach to go to. It was gorgeous! Alex worked intently on a sand castle for a really long time. We were a little unprepared, but luckily we were able to borrow some buckets!
Of course we did a little bit of burying in the sand of daddy. He said that he felt like he was having a mud bath!
We were so lucky that our friend Lisa was able to come visit with us for the day on Saturday. She helped maya experience her very first sand trip ever!
It was a bit of a whirlwind, but such a fun trip!
I also wanted to mention that we went out for dinner last night, and had the funniest conversation with alex. Alex was eating a cherry, which he learned he liked at great-mama's. He was talking about how the inside of the cherry had special powers, and was asking daddy and I if we could guess the password for the inside of the cherry.
Daddy asked for hints a few times ("Is it an animal? A person? A name?") all of which, the answer was "No!". Finally Daddy said, "Do YOU know what the password is?" and Alex said, "NO, that's why you need to GUESS!"... then he realized that didn't make any sense and we all cracked up hysterical laughing!
It's been a busy, but wonderful summer. On 9/6 Alex starts kindergarten, and we start a whole new adventure.
